The AAUW has been empowering women since 1881. Women who have accomplished something, anything, reach out to help other women, especially the younger ones. It’s a tradition among these fine, learned women and a noble one, at that. As a writer, I am proud to say that I have been moderating some author events, mainly the ones chaired by Barbara Evans for the past four years taking place at Michaels At Shoreline Restaurant. On behalf of the the Palo Alto AAUW Luncheon, this event will benefit tech trek program for middle school girls. This year the lineup of authors is astounding. They are amazingly gifted writers, recipients of a multitude of awards, and I look forward to spending an hour or so with them. Please join us on Saturday, April 9, at 11 am. for an informative and fabulous luncheon event! M. P.
